Message of condolence following the earthquake in New Zealand

While there are many sad memories of that terrible time, there is also solace in remembering how your community rose to the challenge of rebuilding your lives and supporting...

I hope that the new memorial will provide a place to remember, to grieve for what is lost, and to give thanks for what remains

I send my condolences to the families of those who were killed and to the people whose homes and businesses have been affected
